Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)

Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 902 of the
Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (Public
Law 101-246) (the "Act"), and as President of the United States, I
hereby report to the Congress that it is in the national interest of
the United States to terminate the suspensions under section 902 of the

containment and disposal units for use in the prevention of terrorist
bombings.
